The collateral, approximately 43,000 BTC, worth around $2.75 billion.\n\nThe structure remains a three way collaboration. Metaplanet provides the Bitcoin treasury. JPYC handles settlement through its yen pegged stablecoin. Program manages the security token framework.\n\nThe yield target matters because Japan's interest rates remain near zero. A 4% to 6% return backed by Bitcoin collateral is a compelling pitch in a market where traditional bonds offer almost nothing.\n\nThe risk is straightforward. Bitcoin can drop a lot in a week. What happens to bondholders when collateral value collapses faster than the bond's notional value? That's what the feasibility study needs to answer.\n\nThis is the next phase. Metaplanet built the war chest through zero interest bond issuances. Now it wants that war chest to earn returns for third party investors, not just appreciate on the balance sheet."}
